Bath Half Marathon

My story

[p]We live in a 'mental' world- we all have mental health, for some it is good, and for others it is a battle every day. I see mental health problems daily in my work, but also in my personal life. We all know people who are battling some form of mental health problem, whether they have low level anxiety, stress or depression (and many more). [/p][p]To help maintain good mental health I know exercise is key, but that is often hard to fit in with small people, work and life... so at the end of 2018, I decided I needed a target, and something to keep me exercising through winter. As a result I signed up to Bath Half Marathon... so this year on 17th March I will be running 13.1 miles- (well maybe not running all of them) I am not a natural runner (in any way shape or form!!!). [/p][p]So this is a personal challenge for me, and it will be a tough one, but it is also an opportunity to raise money for Bath Mind, who do great work locally supporting people struggling with mental health. Some people keep going and find a way out the other side, but others lose the battle, suicide rates continue to grow so lets try and get more help for more people, so more people can live happier, healthy lives. [/p][p]Please give as much or as little as you can every penny counts.[/p]
